𐱃𐰞𐰆𐰖
Old Turkic
Etymology
Inherited from Common Turkic *tāluy (“ocean”) itself borrowed from Middle Chinese 大灅 (MC dajH|daH); derivation from Common Turkic *tāl- (“to dive, to sink”) is likely folk etymology. Cognate with Old Uyghur t’lwy (taluy, “ocean”). Compare also Mongolian далай (dalaj), a Turkic borrowing.
